Oxford’s breathless, post-punk quintet make their return, FOALS are set to play one massive Sydney show when they return to our shores in February 2011.

Monumental in scope and sound, back in August 2010 the five-piece’s widescreen dance-punk blew the minds of those lucky enough to witness their first ever sold-out Australian tour. Now, alongside their slot on the national St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, the ‘Black Gold’ outfit will yet again break the rules, delivering what promises to be some of the most in-demand and dynamic shows this Summer.

‘Our rules were initially done on the fly: we formed to play parties,’ admits keyboardist Edwin Congreave, of FOALS’ impressive 2008 debut, Antidotes, which spawned singles ‘Cassius’ and ‘Balloons’. ‘The number one rule was making dance music; the number two rule was that our guitars had to sound like synths, and the synths had to sound like guitars.’ Rules, however, were meant to be broken. ‘For this new album,’ Edwin insists, ‘there wasn’t any of that.’

Shortlisted for the 2010 Mercury Music Prize, FOALS’ second effort, Total Life Forever, is an album of yearning, emotional tension and playful, compulsive dancefloor anthems and given birth in the band’s basement studio (nicknamed ‘the House of Supreme Mathematics’), Total Life Forever showcases frontman Yannis Philippakis’ gift for introspective delights, angular, hushed textures, and gorgeous pop hooks.
With FOALS’ incredible live performances heralded as some of 2010 year’s best gigs, there’s no doubting the band’s upcoming visit to Australia will be something truly special. FOALS are set to perform an exclusive all-ages show at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre
